HOW TO GROW SPINACH 
Everybody knows that Spinach is high on the list of health-giving and 
body-building vegetables. Grow more and eat more. It is essentially a 
spring and autumn crop and delights in cool, moist weather. While an an¬ 
nual, it is so hardy that it may be sown in the autumn and carried over 
winter except in the extreme north, coming on very early in the spring. 
(See page 3 for preparation of the soil.) Abundant, quickly available plant 
food is desirable and an application of highly nitrogenous fertilizer is ad- 
vantagous when the plants are about half grown. Plant to a depth of one 
inch in rows 16 to 20 inches apart, thin to 6 inches apart in the row. 
Spinach has had much attention from plant breeders the past few years and 
varieties are now much larger leaved, more succulent and remain in good, 
edible condition longer. Do not use poisonous insecticides for insect con¬ 
trol. We recommend Aphicide Pyronic, page 98. Plant 1 ounce of seed to 
100 feet of drill, 8 pounds per acre.
